Chittenden County voters have approved a new recycling center in Williston. The Chittenden Solid Waste District, which was seeking approval to borrow $22 million to build a  replacement for its aging facility, reported that more than 80 percent of voters favored the measure. The vote positions the district to significantly improve its recycling efforts. Its building, called a materials recovery facility, is a nearly windowless metal structure in a Williston industrial park where workers and machines sort all the glass, plastic, paper and metal people throw in their blue bins.
